Information about Accommodation and Visa requirements
Accommodation
Interplan is the official partner for accommodation bookings for ERA Congress 2025.
Please be aware that an increasing number of fraudulent companies are offering hotel rooms and/or registrations to congress attendees. If you are contacted by any company or agency other than Interplan offering housing for the ERA Congress 2025 in Vienna, don’t hesitate to contact us at era-congress@interplan.de. Please note that these companies are not authorized to represent the ERA in any way, nor do they have access to the officially contracted ERA Congress 2025 room blocks or rates.
How Does Hotel Fraud Work?
These groups promote attractive deals with local accommodation providers, but once payment has been received, the company disappears and can no longer be contacted by phone or email. Once the attendee contacts the hotel directly about their room, they realise the hotel has no record of them or their stay. Not only is their money gone, but they must also then scramble to find last-minute accommodation, which is rarely convenient to the venue.
How to Avoid Fraud?
- Book through our Official Accommodation Partner Interplan at era-hotel@interplan.de
- Investigate all documentation regarding the company.
- Use credit cards to guarantee your rooms, rather than wire transfers.

VISA & invitation letters
ERA will provide an invitation letter after the registration to the conference is finalized and paid. This invitation letter will be available at your My ERA account. The invitation letter will be in English and may be a valid document for University, Hospital, Industry, and any other professional requirement as proof of registration. The invitation letter is NOT valid as a visa support letter.
Depending on your citizenship, you may need to obtain a visa to enter Austria. For detailed information, visit the website of the Federal Ministry , Republic of Austria, European and International Affairs: https://www.bmeia.gv.at/en/travel-stay/entrance-and-residence-in-austria/visa/
It is solely the delegate’s responsibility to investigate the visa requirements for Austria and apply for a visa, if necessary. Neither the conference organizers nor ERA will contact embassies or consulates directly on behalf of visa applicants despite embassies do request it.
The invitation letter and any necessary information needed to apply for a visa may be requested from the conference organizers’ e-mail address: visa@interplan.de
Please ensure that copies of passport, hotel & registration confirmation are enclosed to any request for visa support. Furthermore, we kindly ask you to specify which embassy is meant to receive your application (Austrian Embassy of which city/country).
Please do not hesitate to contact us in case of any questions regarding this process.
Timeline
To assure a smooth process any visa should be requested at least 2 months prior to departure.
Later applications may be possible, however, neither the conference organizers nor ERA accept any liability for visa applications that are refused or not submitted in time.
